Be a Bee-ro: A Success Story

“Work hard, stay bumble.”
A hero is defined as a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. But to be a bee-ro, one must simply save le bees. Just like one of our resident bee-ro, Renzo Basiao. a grade 10 student from Ateneo Junior High School, you can be the next lifesaver. Let’s now take a look on his story and how he was able to help our campaign.

Just like one of our resident bee-ro, Renzo Basiao. a grade 10 student from Ateneo Junior High School, you can be the next lifesaver. Let’s now take a look on his story and how he was able to help our campaign.
“I never thought that the one who hurt me is the one I hurt the most.”
Renzo’s bee story started out exactly the opposite of what he is doing now. When he was in grade 11, he was walking around his school’s field when suddenly a bee started to follow him. At first, he didn’t mind it since he was around leafy areas. But as time went on, he got disturbed and bothered by the bee, so he started swatting it away and trying to kill it. Due to the natural instincts of bees to sting whatever or whoever tries to hurt it, Renzo got stung on his face. He fell to the ground in pain and had his friends take him to the school clinic.

“The pain I experienced was nothing compared to the pain they experience every day.”
While he was in the school clinic, he was asked by the nurse what he did that made the bee sting him. Of course, he said that he tried to kill the bee. The nurse then gave him a warning that if you try to hurt them, they’ll hurt you back. Saddened, Renzo walked back to his classroom to continue his subjects.

“The more we kill, the more they die.”
Renzo decided to research more about bees and stumbled upon our Facebook page, “Save Le Bees”. It was there when he was enlightened more about the importance of bees and why we should not kill them. He found out that what he did may cause the fall of humanity, since bees are the reason why we have food and we are alive.
“It’s really easy actually, let’s just let them live and be happy. Simple things just as not swatting them, or not trampling on flowers can help them continue their lives. Also, pesticides aren’t for them, we should only use those on pests, and bees are definitely not pests.”, says Basiao.

Through Renzo’s conscious efforts, he has helped the lives of 6 trillion bees. Just like him, you can be one of the successful bee-roes in the hopes of saving le bees. The bees are waiting for more people like him to take action. And that person can be YOU.
